We had the good fortune of connecting with Olivia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Olivia, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are  today both personally and as an artist?
From a young age, I was captivated by art. I was always creating and using  any medium that I could get a hold of. From watercolor and oil painting to  drawing and calligraphy, just to name a few. But my favorite was designing  jewelry. And in early 2017, I decided to take all of my passion and love and  start my own company.

We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do and why and  what do you hope others will take away from your work?
I design and create engagement rings, utilizing sustainably sourced  gemstones and diamonds. What happens beyond that, is a process that is  even more wonderful because I get to become a part of many beautiful love  stories. Every ring that I custom create for my wonderful clients is  completely unique to each of them. It’s hard to express to loved ones just  how much we really care. I hope to provide a way to express that love  through my work.

What do you know now that you wished you had learned earlier?
If you want to create something, pour your heart into it and don’t hold back.  It’s important to remember to always be true to yourself and your style.

Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people  support you and your artwork?
